Damn... Sixty games already down. It seems like we just got here. The hagiography of Zach Greinke hit a minor bump in the road this afternoon, as Big Zach was out-dueled by the master of the questionable strike, Tom Glavine. Worse still, the AP wire reports the following ominous message, "INJURY UPDATE -- KANSAS CITY'S CARLOS BELTRAN, WHO LEFT THE GAME AFTER FIVE INNINGS, HAS A BRUISED LEFT KNEE." Luckily, the Royals' people are saying he will be OK.

Just a terrible offensive effort, again. I'm not a major league player, so I cannot answer the "was it Glavine being good or the ROyals being bad?" question effectively. Still, one walk and one extra base hit are familiar plot lines for this team, so I've got a sneaking suspicion that the Royals had at least a small say in the day's suckiness.

Sixty games played, twenty-three wins. AND the trade-bait might be hurt. Brilliant.
